Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

My students are so much fun to work with and I learn so much from them. I think my students would LOVE some new, flexible, comfortable, matching seating that will allow my students to feel like this is their space...created just for them without dealing with the antiquated, wobbling, mismatched tables and chairs provided by the district.

My students have spent hours in this classroom and deserve to have creature comforts while in school that reminds them of home.

They deserve a classroom where they feel welcomed...a warm, inviting, comfortable environment.

Ms. Nixon United for Success Academy Grades 6-8

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
